~Favorite Life Song's~
Frank Sinatra - That's Life
That's life, that's what people say.
You're riding high in April, Shot down in May. But I know I'm gonna change their tune, When I'm right back on top in June.
That's life, funny as it seems. Some people get their kicks, Steppin' on dreams But I just can't let it get me down,
Cause this big old world keeps spinnin' around.
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, A poet, a pawn and a king. I've been up and down and over and out But I know one thing: Each time I find myself flat on my face, I pick myself up and get back in the race.
That's life, I can't deny it,
I thought of quitting, But my heart just won't buy it. Cause if I didn't think it was worth a try, I'd have to roll myself up in a big ball and die.

Mike & The Mechanics - The living Years
Every generation Blames the one before And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door
I know that I'm a prisoner To all my father held so dear I know that I'm a hostage To all his hopes and fears I just wish I could have told him In the living years
Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought Stilted conversations I'm afraid that's all we've got
You say you just don't see it He says it's perfect sense You just can't get agreement In this present tense We all talk a different language
Talking in defence
Say it loud, say it clear You can listen as well as you hear It's too late when we die To admit we don't see eye to eye
So we open up a quarrel Between the present and the past We only sacrifice the future
It's the bitterness that lasts
So don't yield to the fortunes You sometimes see as fate It may have a new perspective On a different day And if you don't give up, And don't give in You may just be OK
Say it loud, say it clear You can listen as well as you hear It's too late when we die To admit we don't see eye to eye
I wasn't there that morning When my father passed away I didn't get to tell him All the things I had to say.
I think I caught his spirit Later that same year I'm sure I heard his echo In my baby's new born tears I just wish I could have told him In the living years
Say it loud, say it clear You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die To admit we don't see eye to eye

Great song, but I prefer the
Gwen Stefani version. Call me sexist, but she looks GOOOOOD as a femme fatale...

But, please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!
Sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea

It's going OK this morning. Bo has finished his anti-biotic medicine. I talked to my brother about Bo yesterday and he wants me to give Bo a break from the lake.
He seems however to be acting like himself. I'll talk with my brother about that over the weekend.
((HUGS))Good morning, Fatima. How's it going?
